ROCHE DENIES

Attdmey Declares German
I Consulate Did Not Engage
in Uprising
" SAN FRANCISCO. March 1 Fred
Jebsen. a former San Rranclsco shiT-
plng man; Lieutenant Wilbelm vonJ
Krincken of the German tVmT.andi
Captain Franz von Papen, military
attache of the German embassy,
should be held responsible for an
elleged conspiracy in this country to
overthrow British rule In India, ac
cording to a statement of Attorney
Theodore Roche in the trial of thirty
of the alleged conspirators here to
day. Roche is chief counsel for tho
defense. German consular officers
here, American shipping men and
lawyers and Hindu scholars, make
up the list of defendants.
Roche denied flatly that the steam
er Maverick was purchased by these
conspirators to engage in the, trans
portation of arms and ammunition
from this country to India, as the
prosecution charged.
"I am not representing the Ger
man government, the Geriran embas
sy or any German consular officer,
despite statements to the contrary,"
Roche said.
"We will show that the German
consulate here had nothing to do
with the alleged conspiracy. If
there wae any German connection
with this supposed plot, the German
embassy must be held responsibly.
"Wo wilt show that Fred a Jebsen
went to Washington and conferred
with Von Papen there. We will show
that Von Papen came to Seattle and
called Von Hriccken from this city
to consult with him there:
"Von Hrlncken had no connection
with the German consulate here. All
of his activities were carried on
through the embassy at Washington.
We will show that Jeusen conducted
nj negotiations with the German
consulate here in regard to hU al
leged conspiracy."

er Iloff is asked for his views as

In his reply Commissioner Iloff
says that since the northwest has no

to furnish the data requested, and
further informs Mr. Sener that at
present there Is no Industrial strike

"So far as it has come to my
knowledge, officially or otherwise,

MOONEY'S LIFE
IS IN HANDS OF
GOV. STEPHENS
California Supreme Court De
nies Retrial and Death
Is Sentence
COMMENT IS DECLINED
Durkee, Ore., Cattleman,
Charged With Perjury in '
Trial, Acquitted
' RAX FRANCISCO,. March "l. The
life of Thomas J. Mooney seemingly
was in the hands of Governor Wil
liam D. Stephens onlght as the re
sult of the action today of the state
retrial on the ground of lack or
j reversible error in the proceedings
I which led to his conviction and death
sentence on a murder charge in con
nection with the preparedness par
ade bomb explosion here In 1916.
'In Oakland, where he pent the
day. Governor Stephens refused to
comment on the court's action or to
indicate what movement he would
make when Moonev's anoeal for com
mutation or pardon comes before
him, as It will in the event that the
supremo court refuses a rehearing
or denies finally the defendant's
rinht to a retrial. The defense has'
twenty days in which to file appli
cation for a rehearing. Moone's
counsel today stated that the appli
cation would be filed on thtl twenti
eth day. and that Mooney'g case
would be carried to the executive of
j the state if the court's final action
is not satisfactory to the defense.
It was what had been expected,"
was the comment on the decision
made by both Mooney and the dis
trict attorney's office which prose
cuted 4ilm. ,
Coventor Declines Comment
"t'ntll I have bad a chance to read
thoroughly the decision, of ' the su
preme court, I will make no. com
ment," Governor Stephens said.
"Neither will I make public the let
ter received In this connection from
President Wilson until It is certain
the defense will make no further at
tempt to obtain reconsideration of
the case by the supreme court."
The possibility of the supreme
court overruling its own decision
.on a rehearing was. considered re
mote tonight by attorneys interested
in the case.
Abundant support was found In the
eVidenc submitted at the trial of
Mooney to support the defendant's
guilty connection with the explosion,
according to the supreme court's de
cision which was concurred In by all
justices.
There was testimony connecting
the defendant with the possession qf
a suitcase shortly before the explos
ion and tending to show conduct on
his part Indicative of a consciousness
that said suitcase contained some
thing, the possession of which made
him apprehensive of detection by the
police." said the decision.
"The. defense has raised the point
that the testimony of Frank C,. Ox
roan clashed to such an extent that
It should affect the judgmeot. Even
if the stories of these witnesses were
vitally different it could not follow
that this court could disturb the
judgment."
Oregon Cattleman Acquitted.
Frank C. Oxman. a Durkee, Or.,
cattleman, was charged with at
tempted subornation of perjury with
Moonev's trial, at which he was. a

quitted of the charge.
References were made In the de
cision to cartridges found in the
room of Warren K. Billings, now
serving a life Imprisonment sentence

conviction on a murder charae which
grew out of the explosion. The coutt
also referred to a pistol found In
Mooney's room as a suspicious cir
cumstance. After describing In detail tbe pre
paredness parade bomb explosion
which killed ten persons and injured
forty others, particularly the con
ditions surrounding the death" of
'lletta Knapp. whom Mooney was
accused of killing, the court's deci
sion reviewd the endeavors of State
Attorney V. S. Webb to obtain a new
trial for Mooney by stipulation anu
ensent. .
I to in b Cause f -Dentil.
"This motion (referring to At
trrnev General Webb's action) was
denied because the Jurisdiction ot
the court was limited, " the decision
stated' "We have no other question
to determine and we can lawfully
determine no -other. We are-confined
to the record. Defendant's coun
sel at the outset of the trial freely
admitted that Hetta Knapp was the
victim of a foul minder and they in
troduced evidence to prove that the
explo don was caused by a homb. but
not the sort which, according to tha
evidence of the prosecution, brought
death to her.
Th suitcase theory." and not
the theory that the homh was thrown
as the defense contended. , was up
held bv the court. All circumstances
foint to a corroboration of the pros
ecution's contention tha the xpio
!on was fired from within a suit
case. From the record U appears
that the defendant. Thomas J Moon
ey ' was confronted by testimony
from mrny sources which fully sup
ports the verdict found by the ju.v.
We cannot find that he was deprived
of any rights, constitutional or stat
utory, or that any material error of
law was committed, calling for. a re
versal of the judgment or an aura-
ration of the order aenyin ni

ON GREAT LAKES
Large Numbers of Freighters
Taken by Government for
Ocean Service
DETROIT, MICHIGAN, Feb. 22.
While vessel ofvners on the Great
Lakes have pledged their undivided
support to the government In the
prosecution of the war, they, and re
lated business interests are viewing
"with njore than passing interest the
taking of a large, number of package
freighters from the lakes for salt
water service. That there will be
a scarcity of small -carriers on the
lakes. Is freely admitted. Millers of
the northwest contend that all ton
nage of, that class will be needed in
the 1918 season for the. movement of
flour from upper lake poPfrs to the
east.
It has been pointed out also that
the movement of coal to small docks
will be affected by the removal of
vessels ranging In capacity .from
3000 4000 tons. " Vessel men facv tine
of the biggest seasons on record and
coal shipments are expected to play
a large part-In their activities. Pres
ent indications are that the stock of
coal on hand at the upper lake ports
will be extremely low when the nav
igation season opens. r:
Twenty-three steamers were sent
to the coast In 1917; probably a
score more haTe been taken over
since then for delivery at seaboard
by May 15. and many more are ex-,
pec ted to be lined up before the"
lake season begins. In addition to
these 41 vesiels, ten steel tugs, and
the wrecking tug Favorite were sent
to the coast last season.
Capacity operations will rule In
shipyards along the Great Lakes this
year. With orders for 70 steamers
for salt water service, the American
Shipbuilding company's, plants are
booked virtually to capacity. The
Toledo Shipbuilding company has
contracts for 14 steamers for ocean
service. Similar conditions prevail
at other plants.-
The Toledo company expects to
send eight of these vessels tothe
seaboard before the end of the com
ing season, and' six will come! out
